Have a Product You think we should be using

We are going to be showing off several accessories that will add to the versatility of your CNC router. Watch for them to be used in the build pages as the build progresses.

So how do you create or replicate a 3D object with your mill or router?

3D probing of course. If you need to take a 3D object and turn it into a digital object you need a 3D probing tool. This tool along with the included 3D software included in Mach3 or from another software vendor.

The software allows you to map out the object by creating a digital mesh and turn it back into a file that you then can cut out. WildHorse Innovations makes a great 3D Probing tool.

The Econo-Probe may be inexpensive, but it's far from being cheaply built. Designed and manufactured by Wildhorse Innovations especially for the home machinist and small machine shop, this probe has the quality of products twice its price. This 3-Axis touch probe can also be used as a tool height setter. Conversion from the touch probe mode to the tool height setter mode can be accomplished in a matter of seconds.

Designed using the proven 3 point kinematical support concept, this rugged probe has adjustment screws to maintain accuracy over time. Repair is easy in the event of a

machine crash. The probe is designed so that the low cost, easily replaceable plastic contractor is sacrificed before extensive damage can occur.

The Econo-Probe interfaces easily to DROs and CNC systems. The interface is a simple 3 conductor stereo plug. The Econo-Probe interfaces with any device that uses a 10mm stereo jack. Adapters are readily available for devices requiring a different physical interface.

DragKnife

Doing more with your CNC router is very

important and gives you more value for your tool.

Donek Tools allows you to do just that with there Dragknife.

The Donek Tools Drag Knife can be used to cut almost

anything you would cut with a utility knife, but with the speed

and precision of a CNC router.

The Donek Drag Knife fits into your CNC router or spindle collet,

making it a universal fit for almost any CNC router available. The

tools were designed to use a utility knife blade (though a specific type)

which dramatically reduces the cost of consumable blades.

Donek Drag Knives are being used in industry and by hobbyists to cut
